My new hibiscus is blooming and I just love the colour!! I try to do my garden in blues, purples, pinks and whites so it just fits right in.

OK
I'm sorry I meant to say Salvia, Veronicas I had in my old yard and they are blue too. Anyhow I bought the salvia this year and really like it. The picture does not really show the colour well but they look awesome, the stems are a deep purple . Posted a pic in the album (page 4).
Thanks for the replies.
Lisi, Tigger just looks so content in the garden. I love when I see Tigger and Daisy in the pics, they are just so adorable amongst all your gorgeous flowers.
I don't have Veronicas but if they're blue, I'll definitely look for them for next year. Are they in your garden album?
Dawn, I also bought this hibiscus at the beginning of this season (~June 04) and it also is about knee height. I bought one last year and it didn't survive the winter. I have a feeling I will have to winter it indoors so I have just planted it in a pot. I would hate to lose such a beautiful plant again. I'll have to check out those other flowers you mentioned. I may have them or something similar...I have some flowers that are purply blue and look like daisies. I wonder if those are the ones you referred to?

I have the same one, and I bought it because of the blue colour. Mine is still young (knee-hi to me) and I can't wait for it to really take off.
I love adding things with blue to the garden. Smoodgie posted a site that has pictures of 'More African daisies' and I know one of the white-petal ones has a nice blue center to it.
flower . Thanks for sharing Khyro. I have nice blue Veronicas blooming, this might be a plant you might like too if you don't have it already. BTW I added a picture of Tiigger to my album (page 4), I knwo you like the animals.
